Definitions

  • the invention relates to a handle device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the coupling unit is formed by a screw or a rivet handle.
  • the invention is based on a handle device, in particular a surgical tool handle device, with a first and at least a second handle element and a scissors joint, by means of which the two handle elements are pivotally connected, and with a coupling unit, which is intended to hold the two handle elements together.
  • a "scissors joint” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a mechanical connection of the grip elements, which enables a relative rotational movement of the two grip elements about a common axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane defined by the two grip elements and within their connection.
  • the coupling unit has at least one coupling element which is provided to produce a positive connection of the same depending on a relative position of the grip elements.
  • the coupling unit is provided to produce a reversible positive connection of the same depending on a relative position of the grip elements.
  • a "reversible" form-fitting connection should be understood in this context in particular a form-fitting connection, the solution is carried out by reversing the assembly order, which advantageously a particularly simple assembly and disassembly can be achieved.
  • the coupling elements are designed in the form of features that complement each other according to the key-lock principle in an overlap, wherein the coupling elements of the handle elements in the course of production of the positive connection can be passed to each other and the production of the positive connection by a translational, a rotational or a combination of both movements of the coupling elements can take place.
  • by the selection and arrangement of the features advantageously an association relation of certain grip elements or an exclusion relation for a common use of certain grip elements are produced.
  • the movement for producing the form-locking connection of the two gripping elements differing from a relative rotational movement of the two gripping elements can be selected during normal operation of the handle device.
  • a pivoting movement of one of the gripping elements for producing the form-locking connection can be particularly advantageously designed so that the pivoting movement takes place in a plane which lies in an angular range of up to 30 ° on both sides of a plane perpendicular to that of the both handle elements during the normal operation of the handle device spanned plane extends, so that the positive connection is secured during normal operation and no decoupling of the handle elements can take place.
  • the form-locking connection has at least one coupling element which is formed at least partially in one piece with a grip element.
  • the handle device can be easily disassembled into its components without the disassembly of additional parts, whereby, in particular in the case of handle devices for surgical tools, suitability for vapor pressure sterilization (autoclavability) can advantageously be achieved.
  • At least the first and the second grip element each comprise centering elements, which are provided for centering the positive connection, whereby an advantageous precise guidance of the relative rotational movement of the grip elements can be achieved.
  • the centering elements whose axis of symmetry advantageously lie parallel to the axis of rotation of the scissors joint.
  • the handle device comprises a tool unit which at least partially forms a mechanical stop for the coupling unit, whereby the pivoting range of the scissors joint mechanically limited and advantageously a saving of additional components for producing this function can be achieved.
  • the "pivoting range" of the scissors joint should be understood as meaning, in particular, the sector angles which are swept by the grip elements during a maximum possible relative movement.
  • At least one gripping element comprises a drive element for a translatory drive of the tool, whereby advantageously a relative rotational movement of the gripping elements can be converted into a translatory movement of the tool.
  • At least one of the gripping elements comprises a device for the mechanical securing of a tool unit, so that an advantageous replacement of the tool unit is possible and the handle device and the tool unit can be firmly connected in an advantageously simple manner.
  • the handle device has a securing element, which is arranged on at least one of the handle elements and which is intended to secure the positive connection during operation of the tool.
  • a securing element which is arranged on at least one of the handle elements and which is intended to secure the positive connection during operation of the tool.
  • an alignment of the grip elements can be prevented in accordance with the relative position necessary for the production or a solution of the positive connection.
  • the securing element arranged on at least one of the grip elements has a securing position and a release position.
  • the coupling element is provided to produce the positive connection of the two gripping elements in a relative position between the gripping elements, which corresponds to a closed position of the gripping elements.
  • Position of the handle elements are understood, in which they include the minimum possible sector angle.
  • in a suitable embodiment in conjunction with the securing element can advantageously be ensured that a release of the positive connection during operation of the handle device is excluded.
  • the coupling unit has at least one delimiting element which is provided to define an area for the possible relative positions of the gripping elements, whereby advantageously the range of movement of the tool can be precisely defined.
  • the coupling unit has at least one delimiting element which is provided to mechanically block its movement at a defined relative position of the gripping elements, as a result of which undesirable positions of the tool can be avoided in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • a self-holding function of the tool can advantageously be achieved by deliberately triggering the blocking when using pliers-like tools.
  • At least one of the gripping elements has a receiving element and at least one further of the gripping elements has a delimiting element for limiting a spreading of the scissors joint, whereby advantageously a better handling of the tool can be achieved.
  • a precisely defined end position upon reaching a fixed size of the sector angle of the scissors joint by an interaction of the limiting element and the receiving element a precisely defined end position can be achieved.
  • Fig. 1 shows a handle device for a surgical tool with two handle elements 10 and 12 and a scissors hinge, by means of which the two handle elements 10 and 12 are pivotally connected, for operating a tool 30, which, movably mounted in a tool sleeve 26 forms with this a tool unit 24.
  • the in the Fig. 2 and 3 shown coupling unit 14 is provided to produce depending on a relative position of the handle members 10 and 12 a positive connection of the same.
  • This positive connection can be produced by three cam-shaped and integrally formed with the handle member 12, arranged on a circular ring about an axis of rotation coupling elements 16 (FIGS. Fig. 3 ) on the corresponding coupling elements 18 in the form of recesses in the other handle element 10 (FIG. Fig. 2 ), also integrally formed with this, are pushed past.
  • the cam-shaped coupling elements 16 perform a circular movement within a behind the coupling elements 18 in the form of recesses groove.
  • the positive connection of the handle elements 10 and 12 is reversible and can be solved by reversing the assembly order.
  • the centering elements provided in the two gripping elements 10 and 12 for centering the form-fitting connection are, on the one hand, in the form of a cone-shaped centering element 20 Pin in the center of the scissors joint and on the other hand as serving to receive the pin, designed as a recess centering element 22 configured, wherein the axis of symmetry of the centering elements is parallel to the axis of rotation of the scissors joint.
  • the coupling unit comprises limiting elements, which are intended to define an area for the possible relative positions of the grip elements 10 and 12.
  • the restriction member 44 is a recess in the radial direction of the coupling unit having a through hole at its end (FIG. Fig. 2 ) formed.
  • the limiting element 42 in the form of a resiliently mounted in a blind hole guide pin ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the guide pin can move within the guide of the recess, whereby the range for the possible relative positions of the handle elements 10 and 12 is fixed.
  • a defined relative position of the grip elements 10 and 12 namely upon reaching the through hole in the limiting element 44, further movement of the grip elements 10 and 12 is mechanically blocked by the protruding into the through hole guide pin.
  • Fig. 4 is shown as a recess in a turntable within the scissors joint configured drive element 32 for a translational drive of the tool 30.
  • the end of the tool 30 protrudes into the recess formed as a drive element 32 and is taken at a relative rotation of the handle members 10 and 12.
  • the tool unit 24 comprises as shown on the tool sleeve 26 a mechanical stop 28 for the coupling unit 14.
  • the handle member 10 includes a securing device 34 for a mechanical securing of the tool unit 24 executed locking screw.
  • Fig. 5 shows the two handle elements 10 and 12 in its closed position in which the preparation or solution of the positive connection of the handle elements 10 and 12 can be made.
  • the two handle elements 10 and 12 are shown in a spreading of the scissors joint, in which the receiving element 46 of a handle member 10 in cooperation with the limiting element 48 of the other handle member 12 limits the maximum sector angle for a spreading of the scissors joint.
  • securing element 36 is shown, which is intended to secure during operation of the tool 30, the positive connection of the handle elements.
  • the securing element 36 is shown in the release position 40;
